How technology can

be used for solving

hunger problem with

millet ?

1. Millets are highly varied group of small-

seeded grasses, widely grown around the

world as cereal crops or grains for fodder and

human food.

2. Most species generally referred to as

millets belong to tribe paniceae, but some

millets also belongs to various other taxa.

3. Types of millets :

finger millet, foxtail millet, proso millet,

barnyard millet, red sorghum, pearl millet,

ragi and jowar

MILLETS

1. Millet is highly nutritious and offers a range of essential nutrients. It is

reach in dietary fiber, proteins, vitamins and minerals. Incoporating millet

into diets helps combat malnutrition and provides vitalnutrients for

individuals, particularly in regions were access to diverse and nutritious

foods is limited.

2. Millet is a drought-resistant crop and can grow in arid and semi-arid

regions with minimal water requirements.

3. Millet requires fewer inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation

compared to other major staple crops

4. By harnessing the nutritional value, resilience, and adaptability of millet, it

is possible to improve food security, combat malnutrition, and address the

hunger problem, particularly in regions facing challenges such as water

scarcity, climate change, and limited resources.

IMPORTANCE OF MILLETS IN HUNGER

Promote millet cultivation

SOLUTION

1. Encourage farmers to cultivate millet by providing them with

access to quality seeds, technical knowledge, and training on

modern agricultural practices.

2. Support the establishment of millet farming cooperatives or

farmer groups to facilitate collective action, sharing of resources,

and knowledge exchange.

3. Utilize modern technologies such as remote sensing, drones,

and satellite imagery to monitor crop health, soil moisture levels,

and nutrient deficiencies.

4. This data can be used to optimize irrigation, fertilizer application,

and pest control, leading to improved millet yields and resource

efficiency.

NEED FOR SOLUTION :-

PROPOSED SOLUTION FOR PROBLEM :-

1. Millet is a highly nutritious crop that provides essential nutrients, including

proteins, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. By promoting millet cultivation,

food security can be enhanced as it diversifies the diet and contributes to a

more balanced nutrition profile.

2. Millet's resilience to harsh growing conditions and lower water

requirements also make it a reliable source of food, particularly in regions

prone to drought or limited agricultural resources.

3. promoting millet cultivation offers a range of benefits, including improved

food security, climate resilience, sustainable agriculture, income generation,

cultural preservation, soil health, health benefits, and entrepreneurial

opportunities.

POSSIBLE EFFECTIVENESS OF

SOLUTION/BENEFITS :-

1. Millet's inclusion in sustainable farming systems, nutrition

education programs, and social safety nets can help combat

malnutrition and enhance dietary diversity.

2. By empowering farmers, promoting resilient agricultural practices,

and embracing technological advancements, we can unlock the full

potential of millet as a sustainable, nutritious, and affordable food

source.

3. we can build a future where millet contributes significantly to

eradicating hunger, ensuring food security, and promoting

sustainable development for all.
